Took a Day Trip Tuesday

We went to the zoo! We love the zoo. Usually it’s just me and the kids and a few other people there, but today hubby went too, along with a zillion other people! It was so fun…we even played on the playground, climbing through ‘fallen trees’. Here’s Cutie Pie in one:

Cutie Pie really wanted to see the birds. They have a great bird room where some of the birds get right down on the floor or stand on the rock wall that separates you from the ‘duck pond’. The kiddos were excited to see the spoonbill and the ducks. We could see their feet really well as they were so close to us, so we started talking about who is probably faster in the water. Cutie Pie chimed right in with ‘the duck’ and when asked why he explained that they have webbed feet and the spoonbill has long toes instead! I was impressed! Sweet Pea kept saying ‘uck, quack’ repeatedly! We ended up staying in that room longer than we had before watching the ducks. Of course, we managed to get to all the other animals, too, but it was rewarding to know that all these times we talk about little things, like webbed feet on ducks, when we don’t think they are necessarily listening, that maybe they really are!
